Summer
4 year old female kittyLovey
3 year old femaleMeet Lovey! She’s exactly like her name suggests. She is a 3 year old female kitty who is super sweet and she loves attention. She is more than likely blind in her right eye, but that doesn’t slow her down! She enjoys sleeping in a soft cat bed and will stay in there for hours! Lovey is a low-maintenance girl as long as she has a bed of her own. She is ready to find her furever home, will that be with you?
Here are a couple of adorable pups from A Forever Home Animal Rescue at 2950 CR 561 in Tavares.

Jesse
1.5-year-old Bully mixJesse is a 1.5-year-old Bully mix weighing 66 pounds. She was adopted a year ago and returned when the adopter relocated and was unable to take her. We were told that she doesn’t like men and that she became protective of the family. She can be timid when she first meets you. She is a fun, sweet girl. She loves to walk on the leash, she absolutely loves to run and play in the yard. She needs an adopter who will take the time to rebuild her trust. Her adoption donation is $100 which includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip. She is heartworm negative and on monthly prevention. She has so much potential if someone will just take the time with her so please give her a chance.
Brynlee
2-year-old female Jack RussellBrynlee is a 2-year-old female Jack Russell mix weighing approximately 13 pounds. She was confiscated by animal services and was so fearful that you could not even touch her. She was very timid but now she is friendly and always wagging her tail. She is so mellow and quiet. We have never heard her bark. She will not walk on a leash and she is not house trained yet, but we are working on it. She gets along well with the other dogs but no cats or children please. Her adoption donation is $200 which includes her spay, vaccinations and microchip. We can only imagine what her past life was but she will blossom into a lovable, loyal companion if you will just give her a chance.
Tilley
5-year-old Dachshund mixTilley is a 5-year-old Dachshund mix weighing 15 pounds. When she first arrived, she was so scared that she would hide and cower whenever anyone went near her. She cannot be left alone outdoors no matter how secure you think the fence is. She will not walk on a leash so she does need to have a home with a fenced-in yard. She gets along with most dogs and has not been cat or child tested. Her adoption donation is $250 which includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip. She is heartworm negative and on monthly prevention.
Coco and Flocko
